Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In Delgadillo v Canada, the Federal Court of Canada upheld an Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) decision to refuse refugee status to a Mexican gay male refugee claimant because he had an Internal Flight Alternative (IFA). Although the court reached this conclusion, it nevertheless agreed that Mr Delgadillo had a legitimate fear of persecution. As well, the court made an important finding--that people in Mexico who are living with HIV/AIDS do not have an IFA. |
